How can I use a machine policy to map a lpt port?


I have a machine group policy that uses a batch file to
run "net use" to map lpt1 to a shared printer. The batch
file works and lpt1 gets mapped, but when a a user logs
on to that machine, the mapping is gone. I tried to set
an environment variable and the same thing happened?

Have you tried using the /persistent switch in your batch file? That may
work.
